I do think the plan was to change because of the CFG portfolio, it doesn't fit alongside the rest and I say the amount they have done for this club means you have to try and see things their way a little bit(it does makes sense for what they are trying to build). Thats not to say they haven't tried to listen to what the fans want in the round badge though so they do care. My issue is who have they been listening to though? From the sounds of it they've just gone around the supporters clubs and got the feedback there, my local one doesn't exactly have the youngest members in theirs, from what I've seen of others on CityTV the same rings true for many others so I think the opinions you'll get there are very one sided.
I think if they were really listening to the fans then they'd have had to keep the Eagle personally. I've just looked at the Bluemoonrisingtv youtube comments regarding the news and an overwhelming majority are complaining(not even debatable). I've seen people say the same of facebook too(never use that so cant confirm it) but then pass it off as "oh its all just the young fans", I'd disagree with that for a start because plenty of older fans like it too(I'd wager that you could lose the stars and the latin and they'd all be happy... its the eagle that makes it recognisable). Secondly to say you are going to ask the fans and then ignore a "massive"(lol) section of them, even if it were just the young fans(which it's not) that would be disregarding the future in a way and saying their opinions aren't as important isn't smart. We haven't seen the badge yet so it might still be there in some way, which would make the above irrelevant.
I know I said I'd not post till we see the official one but seeing the reaction to the news had me thinking.
